In a professional kitchen, where the scale of food preparation is significantly different from home cooking, special equipment must be installed that ensures well-coordinated work of the staff. In this article we will talk about such a thing as washing bathtubs. They are designed to wash large quantities of dishes and meet all the requirements of sanitization. Also, washing bathtubs are designed for sanitary standards. There are special GOSTs that regulate the parameters of this equipment.
Washing bathrooms are operated in the kitchens of catering establishments (restaurants, cafes, canteens, and so on) for washing used dishes of all kinds, including large containers. They are also used to defrost frozen poultry or fish, vegetables and other food products.
Washing bathtubs are three- and two-section. They are made of stainless steel (food grade). Edges and corners should be bent around so that personnel are not injured during work due to negligence. The sides of the bathroom are made with the expectation of a mixer tap. Some models have a center hole right under it. For example, a 2-section washing bath involves inserting two mixers. But some install one crane in two sections. 3-section washing bathtub is equipped according to the same principle. In order to prevent splashes from water from falling onto the wall, a wall board is made that fits snugly to its surface. By itself, the frame of this equipment is made of galvanized metal. Feet can be adjusted in height. Therefore, uneven floors do not matter. The kit usually includes a drain siphon, as well as a shelf rack for storing kitchen utensils and detergents. In addition, washing bathtubs are equipped with a food waste shredder. This mechanism operates as follows: the garbage ground in the device goes into the sewer along with water. This significantly saves staff time.
Washing bathtubs can be seamless, with a working surface, and are also classified by the number of sections. The tightness of the connection areas and the structural strength are determined by the technology and manufacturing quality of this equipment. If desired, the size, number of sections and the location of the drain may vary.
Depending on the production technology of the bowl (washing bowl), bathtubs are divided into the following types:
- Welded.
- Bathtubs are seamless.
The latter differ from welds in the absence of seams, which eliminates leakage. Also, the most important advantage is that such washing bathtubs do not have corners. And it is very convenient for the staff. In addition, this type of equipment is fully consistent with hygiene standards. Seamless washing bathtubs are faster cleared of residual cooking phenomena.
In addition to the equipment described in this article, dishwashers with a washing cycle of up to one minute are installed in industrial kitchens.
